| Reverse description | A powerfully modelled lion facing left, rearing up and attacking a bull that kneels to the left, its forelegs collapsed beneath it; the predatory scene is rendered with vigorous naturalism, the lion's mane shown in detailed curls and the bull's musculature clearly delineated. The composition fills the field dynamically, set upon a ground line, and is enclosed within a beaded border. The encircling Greek legend around the upper field identifies the city of Tarsus as metropolis. |
